These are from our BUDGET RANGE of magnets, ideal for the budget conscious when the tolerances are less important than normal. Instead of our usual +/-0.1mm tolerances, they have +/-5% tolerances on any dimension.

Diameter: 12 mm (0.47")

Thickness: 3 mm (0.11")

Axially Magnetised through the thickness so that one flat face is north, the other is south

Weight: 2.51g

Grade: N38

Coating: Ni-Cu-Ni (Nickel-Copper-Nickel)

Maximum Temp: 80°C / 176°F

Theoretical Maximum Pull: 4.8lb / 78oz / 2199g

Calculated Max Vertical Hold-guidance only: 0.96lb / 15.6oz / 439g

WARNINGS:

All neodymium magnets are unsuitable for children; do not ingest.

All neodymium magnets are brittle; do not allow these magnets to jump together or to an iron/steel surface - they will break, crack, chip or shatter.

Thin neodymium magnets DO NOT FLEX, if you attempt to flex them they will snap in half.

These are ideal for a large range of hobby crafting including card crafting and scrapbooking uses. They are also good for DIY and MRO uses. If you need to use an adhesive, we recommend using something that will bind to metal and whatever surface you want to glue the magnet to.

The pull is calculated using a mathematical formula and although it takes account of the centre hole, it does NOT take account of the countersink is, therefore, the only an estimate of the theoretical maximum hold between one magnet and a mild steel plate. It does not take account of manufacturing tolerances, plating, plating thickness or variances in a mild steel plate. The vertical hold is based upon the calculated pull and is, therefore, only for guidance. Factors such as paint thickness, plasticised surfaces, movement and vibration are not taken into account.

WARNING: Neodymium magnets are unsuitable for children under 8. All neodymium magnets are brittle. Do not allow these magnets to jump together or to an iron/steel surface - they will break, crack, chip or shatter. Thin neodymium magnets DO NOT FLEX, if you attempt to flex them they will snap in half. THIS IS NOT A TOY. DO NOT INGEST

We aim to ship all items as soon as payment is cleared. This means that items ordered and paid for by 12 noon (UK time) Monday-Friday are usually dispatched on the same day. Items ordered and paid for after 12 noon or over the weekend are sent on the next working day. We never charge excessive amounts for postage and packaging. Our P&P charges are made up of the Royal Mail charge for the service plus a small contribution towards the packaging materials, plus VAT, which we are legally obliged to charge.
